- 1) VideoCounter
- ===============
-
- The program VideoCounter can be used to convert counter values
- of a VCR without real time counter to real time values. This works
- only with some old Panasonic and some Blaupunkt VCRs.
-
-
-
- 2) Backup
- =========
-
- This is a script for automatic backup of your datafiles to some disks.
- You may want to modify this shell-script so that it suits your personal
- preferences.
-
-
-
- 3) Restore
- ==========
-
- This is a script for automatic restore of your datafiles from some disks.
- You may want to modify this shell-script so that it suits your personal
- preferences and fits to the respective `Backup` shell-script.
-
-
-
- 4) FUnCopy
- ==========
-
-
- This is a special copy and compressing tool for the datafiles of the
- Video & CD-Archive. Normally it is automatically invoked by the `Backup`
- and the `Restore` shell-scripts that come with this package.
-
- Usage:
-
- FUnCopy Source Destination Option
-
- where Option can be either `C` for compressing or `D` for decompressing.
- See the `Backup` or the `Restore` shell-script for an example.
- The advantage of that tool is that it is optimized for Video & CD-Archive
- datafiles, it needs little memory and works pretty fast, especially on plain
- old Amiga computers.
-
-
-
- 4) Requester
- ============
-
-
- This is a very simple but useful tool which provides a requester to be used
- by a shell-script.
-
- Usage:
-
- Requester OK_ButtonText CANCEL_ButtonText WindowHeaderText Line_1 Line_2 ...
-
- If the OK_Button is selected, the tool exits with error code 0, if the
- CANCEL_Button is selected, the tool exits with error code 20. You can use
- these error codes in your shell-scripts to get some information from the user.
- See the `Backup` or the `Restore` shell-script for an example.
